Jesus elucidates… The World, Dancing, Dance Addiction & How to handle it

Heavenly Gifts revealed thru Jakob Lorber

December 14th 1840

The Lord says:

1. You ask yourself, what aspect of dancing is so very abhorrent and displeasing to Me, and therefore condemned? – Look, you moronic man, you fear men, and in your fear you still want to get to know certain things, which I only make known to the brave ones. – I have told you many great things and I have removed the veil from your eyes, but you depend on men’s judgment and fear their archness exceedingly, and you reckon not that I reach beyond all men.

2. And even if you think for Me, you still always think in your fear, which, in the end, will seal your heart and make you blinder than a mole, and it will clog you ears with all kinds of dross, so you may never hear My voice within you again, if, from now on, you don’t ban your fear in earnest, because it only leads to utter nonsense.

3. Can you really imagine, that I use Satan to urge a human being in a living manner to humility, meekness, patience, perseverance, and even to love Me and out of that to love his neighbour, or to the strict obedience against a monarch or against some existing church, and all of this in spirit and all truth?! – Oh I’m telling you, whoever claims such a thing, he is the one, who lets himself be led by Satan tremendously! You shall pray for such a one, as well as for the entire roman church, so that they may recognize their nonsense and realize what they have in My spirit, in My love and in My truth – or else its flight will be put into action immediately. For whoever loves My name and seeks to glorify it within his heart, this ist the one, who is for Me and not against Me.

4. But how can someone from satan’s kingdom pronounce My name, since nothing of My name, which is My eternal love, can possibly exist within Satan, and since satan is the complete opposite of love and therefore only the quintessence of God’s wrath, as a being, that has been completely separated from all love.

5. However, if somebody wants to pronounce a word in order to describe something, it is necessary for him to understand that term first, or he must at least have the the ability within to adopt such a term, so that it will be possible for the tongue to pronounce it. But how can somebody, for example, pronounce ‘father’ in japanese or any other term he is not familiar with, which is only known to this people as a secret – if this language is completely foreign to him and also, due to his muteness, is lacking all abilities, so that he is not even able to master his mother tongue, and therefore not to mention, mastering japanese?

6. And still I say… Nevertheless, it would still be easier to let a mute person pronounce japanese words than it would be for satan, to pronounce the name of My love. The evil spirits can only operate in a worldly manner, and thus most certainly blind and ensnare countless people into all sorts of passions, such as imperiousness, arrogance, pride, haughtiness, avarice, greed, envy, jealousy, hatred, whoring, fornication, lewdness, dancing, debauchery, gluttony etc. And in that respect, My name, which is unpronouncable for them, is completely redundant. And since the worldly people don’t want to hear My name anyway, and since My name is an abomination for them, how much more gruesome and infinitly disgusting must it be for satan!

7. But whoever confesses My name, which is Jesus, the ‘Son’ of the living God or the ‘Word’ or the ‘Love’ of the Father and also loves it without fear – this one also loves the Father and can’t possibly be against the Holy Spirit, flowing out of both, but rather be for it and filled with it thoroughly. How and what could satan – in all his wrath and falsehood – possibly have to do there, where the Spirit of the Eternal Love recreates everything anew, out of God the Father, and thus through the Son?!

8. Oh realize this and be without fear, for all times! For My Kingdom must always be snatched through one or the other trial. And the right love must always pass the fiery trial, just like the pure gold. For without such trials, it is not worthy of Me.

9. Look at the rich young ruler in the gospel, and you will surely find there, how far away he still is from My Kingdom. And consider the seed beneath the thorns (worldly lust etc.), and what kind of fruit can come forth from that! – Therefore, don’t be like this young man or like the seeds beneath the thorns, but rather show Me the gold of your love, and thus you shall live!

10. However, regarding the dance in question, I have already shown you sufficiently, how well pleasing it is to Me and what consequences it has. I’ll only add this much, so that nobody may excuse himself palliatively under the guise of whatever name, otherwise he’ll never get rid of his ‘turner’. For as there exists such a worm in the brain as an evil disease, which you call the turner, in the same way there also exists a ‘spiritual turner’, which is much more difficult to heal than the natural one and it has become a general pest nowadays.

11. Parents however, who let their children be taught in the art of dancing, are putting a great accountable burden on their own neck, if their children will be corrupted thereby through whatever evil spirits. Either the girls in their fertility, in their cleansing, in their secret discipline, in the morality of their heart, in the true faith and in their pure love for Me, and out of that to a possible spouse, in the homely diligence and in true, christian virtue, patience, meekness, persistence in all trials and hardships, yes, even in the so necessary cheerfulness of every woman, in the always present sobriety, freshness, serenity and liveliness of her virtuous disposition, as well as in the quiet peace of the spirit. Or the boys, through aversion for all serious contemplations in the fear of God, in the secret discipline, in the premature development of the sexual urge, and by that afterwards in everything regarding Me, the author of everything good and true of love. Look, if such things happen and necessarily must happen, think for yourself, who is really to blame for this and who will once be responsible for it!

12. Then you will resemble that fig tree, which fruitlessly stood there, while I was hungry beneath its branches. For you parents are such fig trees, and your children are the fruits. If however, they have been corrupted by the known ‘turner’, either way, the blossom and the fruit will fall prematurely from the branches. And when the Lord passes by and finds the tree empty, then He will do what He has done with the fig tree! – Parents, remember this, and consider who it is, that is telling you such things!
Against the Dance Addiction! – January 17th, 1841, Sunday

1. Just write, for I surely know the question and the fearful plea! But it is too late that I would give you an answer of peace, before I will send an answer of My judgment over the three dance addicted daughters of the world fearing Ans. H.! – For I have wasted many words of peace; but these daughters, however, have understood none of them and they have stayed mischievously within their hearts, and they look annoyed at their mother behind her back, if she won’t permit them, what their hearts desire, for My sake. And thus they secretly revile anyone that is against or interferes with their sensual pleasure, or acts ‘treacherously’ against them.

2. Look, the dance floor has polished and smoothened their ears sufficiently already, so that My mild voice is secretly despised, bounces off and cannot reach their hearts anymore. Therefore, I will soon afflict them with a different voice, so that they will have to recognize Me as judge of such worldly addicted and worldly harking children – since I was too slight for them as the most loving, warning Father.

3. For they know it as well as you do, that the eternally cursed dance is the most abominable vice, no matter the form, circumstance, condition or location, for firstly, it is nothing more than some kind of sodomitical fornication, through which the gentiles let themselves be aroused to all sorts of debaucheries; and secondly, because this exact vice has nowadays become quite usual, and even duty free under a worldly moral veneer, without any disapproval. – Therefore it shall now be cursed a thousand times over!

4. And thirdly the dance is a most obnoxious vice, because it pulls already the children completely away from Me and turns their hearts spiritually to stone. It most often ruins the girls and renders them infertile, or sometimes badly fertile, and thus already provides the fruit within the body with an irresistible drive for that exact vice, which will make itself known after only a few short years – and on top of that, like no other vice, it draws the person that gave into it, away from Me, not only for a time, but with almost no exception, forever – so that such a one never wants to turn to Me ever, except through a judgment, which, however, won’t be of much use to them. For whoever is visited by Me with a judgment, over that one My wrath has come, together with the eternal death!!

5. The best remedy against this obnoxious addiction is (if you want to consider it), that you parents however may not directly oppose the world outwardly, but to try and cause your children, through serious, strict and well meaning depiction of My will, to deny themselves and that they themselves then shall counter the awesome demands of the world. Because if the children for some prudent reason do not want to go dancing, the world will for sure leave the parents alone. But on the other hand, their own attempts will be of little or no avail, except a complete breaking with the world. No matter how many reasonable replies you present to the world, it will always find something to retort, something that will sadden you. And eventually, your children will be consumed by it either way and, in the end, they will start to hate you within their hearts, and become your greatest tormentors. – If you allow them to follow the demands of the world, then you know anyway, what service you render to Me by that!

6. Oh if only Ans. H. would have come to Me earlier, instead of fearing his blind relatives, then he would have won it all. But he himself has set Me back for a minute, annoyed. And now he may look in all seriousness, how he will return again to My order! For some day, I will be out of sorts with those parents, who have returned their children to Me differently as I have given them to them. For then shall everybody, who wants to come to Me, be like children. However, if the children will be full of anger like the world, then I will send them all to hell, and the pure dwelling of My Saints shall never again be stained by the dragon blood of such worldly tainted children!

7. Therefore listen, even thousands of worlds full of such children mean nothing to Me! For My kingdom and creation are infinite. And even a million worlds mean about as much to Me, as a worm infested apple that has fallen from its tree and is tread upon. But to each of you, I must mean everything, if you want Me to look at you with My mercy.

8. However, those, who are able to forget Me for the sake of the world, after all I have done for them throughout eternity – truly, I will not look for them anymore on account of their unfaithfulness, and I will let them go and fall, wherever they want to go. And I will not concern Myself with them throughout all of eternity, for I am not depending on them, but they surely depend on Me.

9. Look, I am a bountiful bridegroom, and I romance and let Myself be romanced. But wherever I romance, there I am full of jealousy; and woe to those, who reject My hand! – But where I am romanced, there I am demure and certainly look at the suitor, if they are adorned with a wedding gown? Woe to those, who grasp after Me with worldly defiled hands! Those shall be hit harshly by My judgments!

10. For whoever fears the world more than Me, is truly not worthy of Me! Whoever trusts men more than Me, is not worthy of Me! Whoever fears the poverty of the world, is not worthy of My treasures! Yes, whoever simply wants to drag Me along besides the world, is not worthy of Me! And all those, who do not consider Me their highest good, are complete fools; those are certainly not worthy of Me either and will therefore eventually gnaw at the eternal poverty.

11. But to you, My servant, I say this, that you shall have nothing to do with these three dance addicted daughters for as long as I will indicate it to you. And you also shall not exchange a single word with them. For they have mocked your words within their hearts, because you did not agree with them.

12. At those times, when these three are not attendant, you can surely enter the house of Ans. H. and instruct the housewife in the tonal language. But mind you, not at any other time – not even across the table – not until I indicate it to you! For that, what I demand of you, happens out of love for Ans. H. and his wife. That is all that needs to be heeded and considered; and without that, there is no salvation! – Amen! That is, what I, the eternal love, am saying still. Amen. Amen. Amen.
